During the years I was part of a Sicilian family, I saw a lot of Roman and Greek remains - that island is brimming with it! But no matter how many I've seen, I can't imagine ever being bored with it.<br /><br />Kay, no, it is a bit too far away from Yorkshire for me; when I am in England, I usually do not travel around much unless my relatives take me somewhere, and then that's usually close enough for a comfortable half-day-trip.<br /><br />Macy, reading (and writing) is almost like breathing to me. I need it to maintain my mental sanity. The number of people over here who read non fiction books in English can't be very high, or the library would have a wider range on offer :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-22058347073916188412011-12-07T00:20:31.880+01:002011-12-07T00:20:31.880+01:00Librarian - You are an omniverous reader!
